I'd happily do that. The only trouble is, that I can't trigger the
problem. See my earlier mail in this thread when I talked about bambamc
0.0.50 which I imported, built, pushed without issues.

So either the problem occurs only in versions of git-buildpackage >
0.6.0~git20120601 (from wheezy, the latest one we use) or it's something
else in the workflow. You can easily check after each step of the
workflow using the script below.
